At least the evidence for this is quite good: Jews have won a disproportionately large number of Nobel Prizes, plus Jewish immigrants to the USA over the last century have done better than various other immigrant groups. There is also the fact that the Jewish lobby in the USA sees to it that far more aid per head is channelled to Isreal than many poorer and more deserving countries. Re the quote from the Isreali paper about Isrealis buying up property etc in "Manhattan, Poland and Hungary" this is history repeating itself. Didnt Jews in Poland have a saying before WWII (referring to Poles): "We own the houses, you own the streets"? My answer to the question is shockingly un-PC: Jews have got brains.
